τὸ ἄστυ: the town as opposed to the citadel, v. 64. 2; viii. 51. 2; i. 14. 4.

Μεγαρέας: cf. c. 155. 1 n.

παχέας: a popular term for the well-to-do oligarchs; cf. v. 30. 1, 77. 2; vi. 91. 1.

The harsh treatment of the Demos is probably to be explained by the fact that it was in part at least of non-Hellenic origin, but the military Sicilian tyrants are throughout less favourable to the people than the tyrants of Greece proper (cf. App. XVI, § 1).

ἐπ᾽ ἐξαγωγῇ: sold to slave-traders ‘for export abroad’; cf. v. 6. 1.
